lpv:translated text	"I am pleased that we are finally taking concrete steps to reduce the bureaucracy involved in accessing European funds. However, it is a pity that it is only when there is a crisis that proposals are tabled for simpler and more flexible regulations governing European funds. I would like to highlight one important aspect of these regulations: increasing the threshold for investments in energy efficiency in buildings. In countries which have gone through the experience of systematic urbanisation and forced industrialisation, the problem of energy efficiency in buildings is one which affects millions of citizens. Very little from these funds has been used so far, but I believe that only two years into the current financial programming period is too early for us to have a precise idea of the absorption rate. For this reason, raising this threshold was necessary, given the large number of beneficiaries and the opportunity to create jobs. However, this will remain a problem for Romania as long as, at the Commission’s request, these actions are eligible only for those towns selected as growth poles. I hope that the Commission will also keep its pledge to renegotiate certain operational programme axes already approved so that the funds can be reallocated for those measures offering a greater potential for economic growth."@en1
